Description
M3 Socket Countersunk Screws (DIN 7991) in Stainless Steel (A2) are another type of screws with specific characteristics:
-
M3: This is the metric thread size of the screw, indicating a 3-millimeter diameter.
-
Socket: These screws feature a socket (hexagonal) drive, requiring a hex key or Allen wrench for installation and removal. The socket drive design provides a secure and efficient way to apply torque.
-
Countersunk: Countersunk screws have a conical head with a flat top, allowing them to sit flush with the surface when installed, providing a clean and smooth finish.
-
DIN 7991: This refers to the DIN specification that the screws conform to. DIN 7991 specifies the dimensions, tolerances, and other requirements for socket countersunk screws.
-
Stainless Steel (A2): Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant material, and A2 is a specific grade or alloy within the stainless steel family. In this context:
-
Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including those exposed to moisture, humidity, or chemicals.
-
A2: A2 stainless steel, also known as AISI 304, is a popular stainless steel grade. It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for general-purpose applications. It contains about 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which contribute to its corrosion resistance properties.
